Sort Your Spices

Sure, they don't go rancid, but that doesn't mean they last forever. Spices (whole, ground and dried) lose their potency and flavor from between 1 to 3 years after packaging, leaving your dishes just a bit flat. If you can't remember the last time you used a spice, it's probably time to toss it out. Get the most out of your spices by arranging them on an easily accessible spice rack, so you can see how much of what you have, at a glance.
